The Force, the word given to a powerful creation of George Lucas.  As the movies are produced, the theory of the Force unfolds.  It is not only a good versus evil, it IS.

In my studies, I found a Welsh word, Nwyfre, it means life force.  It is contained in every living being, plant, animal and being.   I believe we each have inner power that we either utilize or ignore, don’t think I believe that I can control others minds or lift spaceships with the wave of my hand.  I have always been very intuitive, I think most people are, but they learn to not listen to the inner self, and follow others ideas and rules.  I am choosing to follow my own inner voice; forging my own path and living according to my values.

I am on a journey to become more in tune with the natural world, living a life that is less technology fueled. (I know… I just started a blog, ironic ).  Every morning, I approach the sand, kick off my shoes and walk barefoot towards the water.  Some days are cooler than others, some are warmer.  I approach the rising sun, silently greet God by raising my left hand to receive his blessing.  I let my mind wander, no planned meditation or thought path, just wherever it may lead.  I consciously make myself aware of the sand beneath my feet, grounding myself to earth.  Most days this is about the time the sea joins my party,  I give thanks to the Goddess for her presence.  I consciously acknowledge all the elements, the sun, the sea, the sky and the earth.  some days I ask them for a gift to remind of this day, the sea is most generous in providing a shell.

Today’s gift was two shells within a shell.

 

 

 

I shall start by introducing myself, I am Sheila. The snow moon is the full moon in February, and I was born on the full moon one February many years ago.  It is one facet of who I am, I have many facets and have decided its time in my life to get to know who I am and reveal some of the many facets I have kept hidden.  This blog is one more piece in that process.

This is the start of my new adventure, 2018 marks a year of great change for my life.  This will be a chronicle of those changes.  This will hold me accountable to myself and maybe some other people, who knows where this path on the journey will lead.

Each month, I select a new characteristic of who I am that either I am eliminating or enhancing.  The first change was in January, I decided that I was no longer a smoker, just like that, I put down the cigarettes.  I have not had a craving, I did not go through the normal period of moodiness, I did not suffer from withdrawl symptoms.  I had read up on what to expect and I did not experience any of the listed physical or mental events.  I attribute that to my psychological state, that I was simply no longer  a smoker.

February was cleansing.  I began to cleanse myself physically, spiritually and emotionally.  I am a Pisces, that translates to an emotional, passionate, mutable person.  I am also an empath, I discovered I had a lot, A LOT of baggage that I have been carrying around.  I took inventory of myself and decided that the cleansing was going to take more than the short month of February, in all honesty, I am still weeding through the stuff.

This year is about me, all about me.  Sadly, the people I have elevated to grand status in my life do not reciprocate.  That was a hard pill to swallow, but it is my reality. The cleansing begins each morning with a trip to the beach, even if its just for five minutes to stand in awe of the ocean and breath. The Sun, the Sky and the Sea, that is all it takes to ground and cleanse the body.  Amazing, instant relaxation.

There have been bumps, twists and turns in my path, some more hurtful than others.  Living for this moment, making the most of this time has become some what of a mantra. To find the joy in every day is easy one day and a challenge the next, but the joy is there every day.

 

LIVE IN THE MOMENT
